Can someone tell me why screen in standby mode (screen is off) is waking on every few minutes for a few seconds and than goes off again? This thing kills my battery life. Does someone knowe any special settings to turn this off or any patch?
Thanks.
prolly some backgroud program
Doesn't happen to me.

It used to happen to me as well. Exactly at midnight lol. Fixed itself, I guess, because it is not happening anymore.
I thought only mine is possessed by evil spirits , now i'm relieved everyone has got this problem
At midnight WM rebuilds its notifications que or something. I remember reading about it on the G-Alarm forums I think, and there was a registry fix to stop it.

Yes there is but i'm interesting in what this registry fix is. I mean can someone post it?
I guess I'll go search the ageye forums for you then.
For those with the midnight wake up and g-alarm installed the registry setting is this:
HKCU: Software\ageye\G-Alarm
"MidnightWakeUp: False"

found this thread in general but nobody response to it there..so i just wonder maybe somebody can help..i am having the same problem...
Hi all,
I am posting a thread after 3 hours of checking the internet to see if others report the same bug.
I am currently using a Kaiser with WM6. Just to describe my problem, when i enter the SMS application (mailbox) and i click on an SMS to read it, the bottom of the page is displayed first (usually blank screen), so everytime i need to use the scroll bar to see the message content which is on the top of the page.
I know it is not a major issue but it's still really annoying. As i said i have been looking everywhere but so far with no chance. This might be a registry problem, maybe caused by the installation of a program, but i don't have anything fancy on my mobile so far.
Anyway, thanks in advance for your help.
Bye
Please search these forums before posting a thread. This has been addressed multiple times on this forum. Solution is to disable d-pad navigation in the pocketIE section of kaisertweak.
Known issue:
Have you Kaiser Tweak installed? Disable D-Pad Scroll Navigation for PocketIE,
beause this tweak causes that behaviour.
This will solve the issue.
Greetz,
Hans Olo
That is a known issue when you have installed KaiserTweaks and enabled D-Pad scroll navigation for PocketIE. Just set that value to Disabled (Default) and problem solved.

Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,
Shinobi_UK
Can you explain what´s in that cab?

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.

I find it annoying to have to unblank the screen to use the keypad for things like phone banking and voicemail.
The registry tweaks in Advanced Config did not work on my phone either, but this cab did the job. Thanks shinobi_uk
THIS is effing amazing
Been looking for something like this for a looong time, cheers
Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.
I haven't tried DiamondTweak, looks interesting though.
This works perfectly. Big Thanks!

It's not that bad, it just annoys me when I'm phoning numbers where you have a number menu system to get through.
It's strange that it's something no other WM phones I've used have done, yet theres no menu option to disable it.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.
center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.

u need to install advanced confog tool from Schaps, there is an option to disable device sleep while on call.
CSD connection
The screen also turns itself off when I use a CSD connection for internet access on my device. I assume it's because the phone thinks I'm making a regular phone call, so it turns the display off.
I found that if I load up tomtom in the background, the screen stays on, but after a while, the screen starts to turn itself off for about a second every few seconds, so it has only worked as a temporary solution.
I will give the advanced config tool a try. ty
IDK know about advanced config, but kaiser tweak is a nifty little program to change a lot of settings
Advanced config is just about the same as KaiserTweak.
I think kaiser tweak has a few more options now. I had advanced config on a couple of roms i flashed and i think kaiser tweak is a little more encompassing as far and the number of features you can tweak.

I prefer having the screen on regardless where I am. All boxes are unchecked>oower, backlight,etc.
but the damn thing goes off after a few seconds when I make a phone call and the keypad can't be seen to press a number when prompted to do so. When I want the screen off, I use psshutXP (light off)
How can I get the advanced configuration tool?!
Thx!!

HKLM/Drivers/Built-In/RIL>Enable Fast Dormant Display During Call....Change value from 1 to 0. Soft reset. The display will stay on during a call!
Now I have another issue that a search didn't help. When I'm on the internet and using the stylus to scroll down the page, the scrolling slows down to nearly a stop just a very short ways down the page!!
Can someone pls help me with this?

Here's a screenshot of the phone stay awake tweak.
Hey guys,
The phone wakes up alone always at 12 am sharp everyday alone without any event being fired. I dont know what causes it..I just find the phone power on alone...
Apps installed on the phone:
1- AdvancedConfig
2- Diamond Tweak
3- G-Alaram
4- Total Commander
5- Answerkeys Disabler
6- TaskManager
7- Google Maps
8- ShutXP
9- Sprite Backup
10- ThumbCal
11- ClearTemp
12- MobileJustice...
Any one of these can cause such an issue? any ideas or solutions?
Thanks.
Do you have PIMBackup scheduled at that time? if so it will be the culprit.
Mine does same after i updated to dutty 2.7 and newer. its kinda annoying.

It's G-Alarm. It is scheduled to set itself up again (in case you played around with the native alarm setting). You can check the notification queue (using software like SKTools) to see it.

If I'm not mistaken, it has something to do with the Manila's alarm clock in the Today screen or the native Alarm setting page.
Anyway, there is no way to deactivate it. You need to ask the author why he called GAlarmReload 1 minute before midnight and 1 minute before each alarm is set to go off.
You can deactivate it if you want in the setting.xml of g-alarm.
Just look here, the last option:

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped
